There are suggestions in the above threads. Ask your vet if they are safe for your cat, especially with the blood pressure medication which I agree she does need to take.

Hi all looking for advice. I have a 7 month female cat that was spayed last Thursday, March 28. When I went to pick her up I was told when they opened her abdomen they saw there was poop backed up and prescribed her 0.7 mg of lactulose for three days as well as pain meds. She pooped that night...

...in the litter box over the past few days except maybe during the night last night, so I can't say that she has the usual symptoms of constipation, like meowing, etc. She did start to drool again after this last trip to the box.
Not really sure what my question is other than has anyone had a...
The only thing that might cause constipation would be immediately following a spay or neuter surgery due to anesthesia and pain meds. But, that doesn't appear to be what you mean.
